Have these seeds been irradiated? How do we know (whether or not they've been treated)?

Hi there I've used these seeds before, they seem to be slightly washed but not to a great extent, I find its hit and miss some batches are processed very well others are dirty and earthy, I would round up by saying that they are natural and have had little washing.

They are for use in food. I don't think they have been treated. They also haven't been washed

In my experience they are the most "unwashed" and freshest I have been able to find so far. There's not really a full proof method to check but usually the darker the water you wash them in, the better the seeds are.

I doubt they are treated. They are the freshest seeds with natural oils. I have been happy with them. Try a 4 pound bag.

Raw but likely they have been irradiated which kills them and the enzymes. Thanks to a law the FDA passed a year or so ago to supposedly protect us :-(

Hi Kathryn: I just rinse the seeds off before the initial soaking. I believe they are organic, so they should be fine. But contact The Sprout House if you are worried. Best, Sarah

I don't recall them being sent fromChina, but if they had been I would of sent them back, but you bring up a good point and I'll be scrutinizing my seed packets in the future.

It does not say. Only says Organic and non irradiated. You should contact them directlyRF

The packaging does not say. When I saw the question I read everything on the container and the seed packages, as well. That is a good question. However, I had success with the seeds and had a great little herb garden going. - Pam

Hi Felix, if they are, we've never even noticed. They visit for a short time while grabbing a seed. If they stay for lots of seeds, we've had no problems. Good product. The cardinal pictured on the website is smaller than ours.

I do not know how they were dried, but you can contact the company @ Frontiercoop.com. (They do say non-irradiated). USA (Norway, IA). They make great "tea," and I'm sure they'd do well for tincture or syrup, too.

Hi there they taste like a tangy cucumber if that makes any sense. But just to let you know I ordered from here and none sprouted idk if the seeds were old or what it was but nothing grew if you do buy from this seller I just hope you have a different outcome than I did. Good luck!!! They're delicious in salads!

I did not see one before I threw the bulk bag away. I had re-bagged mine when it arrived into quart size ziplocks and stored those in the freezer as I do with any bulk nuts and seeds (since they can go rancid). There is so much conflicting information out there - initially I'd read it was a seed and then I've seen others swear up and down it is a grain and NOT a seed; so I error on the side of it being seed since those can spoil so much faster than grains ever would.

Don't think there would be a difference. I imagine that some get broken and dented when the seeds are removed and so would be sold as pieces and possibly cheaper??

I'm not sure but I think they may be smaller under-developed millet seeds that escaped the hulling process because of their smaller size. They usually cook up just fine for me and I don't notice them too much. If your bag has a lot of them in proportion to the yellow hulled seeds then I would consider that a quality control issue and notify the supplier.

I do not know if the cinnamon is irradiated. The packaging does state it is Ceylon Cinnamon.

Irradiated means exposed to radiation!!! I would have no idea if it's exposed or not that's a question you may want to contact the manufacturer with. Sorry

Sorry, I have no way of determining that. I really think it has more to do with what you do with the seed after receiving it when you talk organic. I also don't know if the seeds were genetically modified. You should be able to get some information from the seed packet. If not, you could try contacting the supplier.

well sealed/packaged, we sprouted them and ate it up right away so do not know shelf life
